Vireosylva gilva var. josephce Ridgway, Am. Jour. Sci., IV, 1872, 456, in text, 

 part (Costa Rica). 



Vireosylva josephce costaricensis Ridgway, Birds N. and Mid. Amer., Ill, 1904, 

 159 (highlands of Costa Rica: San Jose, Dota, Barranca, Rancho Redondo, 

 etc.). 



U. S. Nat. Museum: El Copey and Santa Maria de Dota (Basulto); La 



Estrella de Cartago (Underwood). 

 Bangs Collection: Puriscal and Volcan de Irazu (Underwood). 

 Carnegie Museum: Ujurras de Terraba (Carriker). Four specimens. 



This resident Vireosylva is sparingly distributed over the whole of the 

 region above 5,000 feet, inhabiting the forest. It has been taken in the 

 mountains to the east and south of San Jose, on the Volcan de Irazu, and 

 in the Dota Mountains, while I found it fairly common along the high 

 ridges of the Cordillera de Talamanca above Ujurras, at not less than 

 6,000 or 7,000 feet. It is probably not found above 8,000 feet, at least there 

 are no records of its presence above that altitude.
